Product details
Overview
SQD50034E_GE3 from Vishay Siliconix is an automotive-grade N-channel 60 V, 100 A TrenchFET® power MOSFET in TO-252 package, featuring RDS(on) = 3.9 mΩ at VGS = 10 V and 20 A, AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and drain-connected tab for enhanced thermal performance - used in high-current DC-DC converters and motor control stages in engine management systems.
For engineers reviewing the SQD50034E_GE3 datasheet, SQD50034E_GE3 pinout, SQD50034E_GE3 application, or SQD50034E_GE3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its low RDS(on) at elevated temperature, robust UIS capability (50 A single-pulse avalanche), 100 % Rg and UIS tested screening, and thermal resistance RthJC = 1.4 °C/W enabling high-power density designs without forced cooling.
Technical Context
This MOSFET employs trench-gate silicon technology optimized for low conduction loss and fast switching in automotive 12 V/24 V systems. Its gate charge profile (Qg = 58–90 nC, Qgd = 5–85 nC) supports efficient PWM operation up to 200 kHz with minimal drive loss, while the body diode exhibits trr = 50–100 ns and Qrr = 55–110 nC for synchronous rectification compatibility.
The device operates across -55 °C to +175 °C junction range and maintains RDS(on) ≤ 7.9 mΩ at 175 °C and 20 A, ensuring stable performance under under-hood thermal stress. Its safe operating area (SOA) is defined up to 100 A at 10 V VDS for 10 ms pulses, supporting peak-load handling in starter-generator and EPS applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar N-channel power MOSFET applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL220N6F7AG | 60 V, 220 A, RDS(on) = 2.2 mΩ @ 10 V, TO-263 package, higher current rating but larger footprint and no AEC-Q101 documentation in public datasheet. | Preferred for higher-current inverters where board space permits TO-263; unsuitable for space-constrained TO-252-replacement upgrades. | Select when peak current exceeds 100 A and thermal mass allows larger package; verify AEC-Q101 compliance separately if required. |
| IRF1404ZPBF | 40 V, 195 A, RDS(on) = 3.8 mΩ @ 10 V, TO-220AB package, lower VDS rating and non-automotive qualification. | Used in industrial 12 V supplies; lacks 60 V margin and 175 °C rating needed for automotive under-hood deployment. | Acceptable only in non-automotive 12 V systems with strict cost constraints; not a drop-in replacement due to voltage and qualification gaps. |
Compared with STL220N6F7AG and IRF1404ZPBF, SQD50034E_GE3 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 60 V rating, TO-252 footprint, and guaranteed 175 °C operation - making it the only option among the three validated for engine bay–mounted automotive power stages requiring zero derating at full temperature.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous drain current for SQD50034E_GE3 at 125 °C case temperature?
The maximum continuous drain current for SQD50034E_GE3 is 66 A at TC = 125 °C, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value reflects thermal limitation of the TO-252 package and is measured with the device mounted on a standard 1" square FR4 PCB. At higher ambient temperatures or reduced copper area, derating is required to maintain junction temperature ≤ 175 °C. SQD50034E_GE3 must be thermally coupled to a heatsink or large copper pour to sustain this current continuously.
Is SQD50034E_GE3 qualified to AEC-Q101, and what does that mean for automotive use?
Yes, SQD50034E_GE3 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified per the Vishay datasheet revision S18-1179-Rev. A. This qualification confirms it has passed stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and unbiased highly accelerated stress testing - validating suitability for automotive powertrain, chassis, and safety-critical systems. SQD50034E_GE3 is approved for use in engine control units, electric power steering, and other under-hood applications where reliability over 15+ years is mandatory.
What is the typical gate charge (Qg) of SQD50034E_GE3, and how does it affect driver selection?
The typical total gate charge (Qg) of SQD50034E_GE3 is 58 nC at VGS = 10 V, with a maximum of 90 nC. This value determines the energy required to fully turn on the device and directly impacts gate driver sizing: a 1 A driver can switch SQD50034E_GE3 in ~90 ns, while slower drivers may increase switching losses. SQD50034E_GE3's Qg is compatible with common automotive gate drivers such as the TI UCC27531 or Infineon 1EDN7512B, provided gate resistance is tuned to balance speed and ringing.
Does SQD50034E_GE3 have an integrated body diode, and what are its key characteristics?
Yes, SQD50034E_GE3 includes a monolithic body diode with forward voltage VSD = 0.83 V (typical) at IF = 25 A and VGS = 0 V, reverse recovery time trr = 50–100 ns, and reverse recovery charge Qrr = 55–110 nC. These parameters enable SQD50034E_GE3 to serve as a synchronous rectifier in DC-DC converters, reducing conduction loss versus external Schottky diodes. The body diode is rated for pulsed current up to 320 A, matching the MOSFET's IDM rating.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for SQD50034E_GE3, and how should it be used in thermal design?
The junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) for SQD50034E_GE3 is 1.4 °C/W, measured from die junction to the drain-connected copper tab. In thermal design, this value defines the minimum thermal path resistance achievable when the tab is soldered to a heatsink or metal-core PCB. To calculate junction temperature: TJ = TC + (Ptot × RthJC). For example, at 66 A and RDS(on) = 3.9 mΩ, Pcond ≈ 17 W → ΔT = 23.8 °C above case temperature. SQD50034E_GE3 requires low-thermal-resistance mounting to stay within its 175 °C limit.
